Research Nerds
Rejoice: The latest “State
of Consumers and Technology” report is chalk full of data about how we
use our devices (maybe why Nielsen is using Tweets as a TV
rating metric). TechCrunch sums it up the report for us here.

Proliferation of
Paywalls: Half of all U.S.
newspapers have paywalls
and 1/5 of magazines do too, now. How will that affect reader numbers
moving forward?

Kudos to our #PR
colleagues: We applaud these brands
that handled their PR disasters of the year with grace!
